Things We'll Need for the Convention

There are two basic categories of stuff (besides players) we'll need to run the planned games at Origins.

1)  Prizes:  We'll need these for the RT tournament obviously, but something smaller for the other games would be nice as well.  The most obvious source would be donations from gaming shops.

2)  Terrain:  We'll need literally car fulls of terrain, the more the bigger we get.  A basic guess would be 3-5 pieces of terrain per RT table, so if we expect 40 or so players that's 120 to 200 pieces!  Fortunately, most don't have to be particularly amazing, but it would be nice to have a few prestige projects, especially for the Apocalypse game.

The first requirement requires us to find giving shops willing to donate.  In exchange we could offer various types of advertising.  The second will require some money and a lot of work (less of the former the more creative we can get with the later).

We'll cover these two options in much greater detail as time goes on, but for now start thinking about how we can best satisfy both needs.
